RE: It's a TRAP!!! - #dolphincouncil-motion to avoid tyrannical democratic governance.

If no decision of the council is binding, it isn't a council but a forum.
We have a chance to make great strides in funding worthy projects, sweeping abusers off the blockchain and increase the viability of the proof-of-brain concept which STEEM is built on.
As long as the motions passed are reasonable in the actions they ask, only those who don't really care about the future of our currency, or those who are too greedy to give up on some of their direct (author, curation, etc') rewards, would prefer to leave the council than donate some of their precious VP.
If a motion is too drastic, a strong opposition will emerge. And either a more balanced motion will pass, or if it's too extreme in its core, most voting members will be against it.
One of the strengths of the dolphin council is its ability to move around significant resources, something which is extremely unlikely if said contribution is voluntary.
If you're looking for something that is built on the volunteerism principal, @pennsif's forum immediately comes to mind. People can discuss ideas on how to improve curation, build new Steem Apps and several other topics that are important for the betterment of Steem.
You should join, if you haven't already.

My view on this (not the councils), is that the constitution is binding and anyone who doesn't follow the constitution can be expelled from the group.

Motions that pass with a majority consensus are expected to be followed by all members, but there is no immediate penalty. However, overtime, the members will see those that are team players and those that only support their own agenda/ideas.

I am okay with a bit of horse trading as they call it. Assuming a motion is supported by the majority, I will support it to maintain our unity and collective power. In turn I hope my ideas will get a fair hearing and the support of the council.

@kabir88

I agree with this as we need to have these discussions before a proposal to gauge the impact and implications of the members as we would want to avoid “forks” in behavior whole trying to support the underlying concept of benefiting the ecosystem.
